    In spite of the rain and mud, 2017 Isaacson Winter Classic run by CD Norm Furutani with our own Tom Faith helping got a great turnout! Saturday was flyable, Sunday and Monday were gorgeous. The Aussie Scrambles at the end of Monday was a hoot and I even Norm had a chance to fly!

    Bruce Hannah prepared the following Flickr album in tribute of late Marty Thompson, with photos taken at the NorCal 2016 contest.

    ".....this captures all the emotion that I went through that day. I miss my buddy and wished to honor him, and to share it with so many of his friends, and family was more than I could ask for. I flew in a contest this last weekend, one that Marty and I never missed, and many there mentioned how they missed Marty. Bruce"
